The front panel of my iPod Video (Gen 5.5 80GB) is scratched, and the LCD cover is practically gone (don’t ask how that happened). The device is functional otherwise. I am wondering if it is possible to use the front panel from an iPod Classic to replace the front panel of my iPod Video? Minimal modifications would be acceptable as well, as long as it is doable.

A front panel is under $10, are you sure you want the trouble? http://www.ifixit.com/iPod-Parts/iPod-Vi

Yes it is possible to replace it with a 6th gen faceplate. Again it may be harder to find the iPod classic front than the original and it may cost you more, but your call….:-) Here are the directions. Get the Dremel out and good luck…

Hi Sorry newbie here. Likewise, can I replace my ipod classic front plate with an ipod video? Would it fit? Thanks
